Thousands of desperate Israelis go to bed hungry every night...here is the proof:

Every Western nation has homeless people, every Western nations have their communities living in poverty - and Israel is not excluded. Yes, Israel DOES have homeless people and yes they DO have people living in poverty whether most of you believe it or not.

what evidence in the OP is it that you are offering..... I could make a website with lots of colourful photos of lions that go to bed hungry every night and need your donations, but that doesnt mske it true.... this is BS.

Lets get this straight..... ISRAEL IS NOT SPECIAL...

There are African nations where children die every day because there is no food....

No one denied that, but Israel has it much better than most nations on this planet. America has homeless people, does it mean Americans are living in poverty?

Most people don't even know what poverty is..getting food stamps and government support is far from it. Try living on a dollar a day.

At one time I had nothing to live on - but I survived, if only I did have a $1 a day in those days......

oh please get over your high and mighty self. You don't care either. If not you would leave people to their thoughts instead of drilling it home like some maniac. You seem off base and judgmental.

A-G-E-N-D-A

We get it. No one compares to you and your compassion. You are the best. Whoa. Watch out. Mother Teresa over here.

The Palestinians receive billions in aid ... it chooses how to spend that cash ... it could do something about it's situation .. but it buys weapons and Iranian missiles instead of raising itself up through education and better medical care.

Hamas doesn't want peace. It uses Palestinians as human shields and it steals the aid money that comes in. Without Hamas, the Palestinians would enjoy a much better lifestyle, and they wouldn't have Israeli rockets being fired down upon them in retaliation for Hamas rockets ...

the palestanians are spending that cash wisely, feeding over populated areas even though they have not as much farm lands and food as the israelis per head. they use their money wisely rebuilding school and hospitals that have been bombarded again and again by the israelites imposters

also the palestanians dont recieve half as much as israel does

I'm at a loss as to the purpose of this thread. Because some in Israel are living in poverty, like hundreds of millions around the world, we should look the other way when they commit egregious human rights violations? Is that it?

reply to post by Thurisaz

omg even when there is evidence, People still do not believe and why is that?

That would mean they would have to stop hating them.

Israel has become the chosen enemy to many.

From another post,
www.context.org...

Their lives are ennobled, and the highest that is in them, their utmost strength, courage and self-sacrifice is called forth. Inevitably when their society, which is inherently regarded as good, true, compassionate, brave, etc., is threatened (as it almost invariably is rationalized to appear to be), their enemies then become the embodiment of evil. Their war becomes a holy war and by fighting it or helping it they are participating with the Divine in ridding the world of darkness. We must never underestimate the yearning within every individual to further the cause of justice and righteousness and to aid the heroic task of eliminating evil.

"The sinister truth is that for communities to thrive, enemies are as necessary as friends. External danger binds the group together, reduces personal animosity, enhances mutual trust, promotes altruism and self sacrifice. A society surrounded by enemies is unified and strong, a society without enemies divided and lax."

This understanding of human nature just blew me away.

Can you please explain to me how that was possible?, you're not bear Grylls now are ya? maybe some of us can learn from your ways?


For the rest of you:

Palestinians slipping deeper into poverty -UN

(Reuters) - The United Nations UNCTAD agency issued a gloomy outlook for the Palestinian economy on Wednesday, arguing that tougher Israeli policies and settlement expansion were pushing the occupied territories and Gaza deeper into poverty.

The situation had been aggravated in 2011 by a sharp drop in foreign aid, which for years provided a vital support, dimming any hope for an upswing even in the longer term, a report from the trade and development body said. "(Israeli) restrictions on movement, faltering aid flows, a paralysed private sector and a chronic fiscal crisis cloud the horizons," UNCTAD declared. Amid persistent high unemployment, it added, "one in two Palestinians is classified as poor."

I am going start a thread for every country with poverty titled

Thousands of desperate [insert nationality here] go to bed hungry every night...here is the proof

for Asian and African countries it will be

Millions of desperate [ie Indians, Ethiopians, Indonesians] go to bed hungry every night...here is the proof

in other cases, thousands die of starvation every day

but nobody cares, only a handful of righteous people care

I would guess it is to show that Jews are not all rich. Besides that, I don't think there is another purpose.

stereotypes make it easy to judge people we don't see.

Both sides are being Jerks. I only hear of the injustice of one though. I would guess it is because it is easy to judge when stereotypes abound.

Then why was the Muslim Brotherhood brought into this in the OP. Seems like us vs them propaganda to me. Israel, the victim again.

reply to post by intrepid


The same question I asked, yet no one came forth with an answer.

edit: Perhaps the OP was trying to say, indirectly of course, that the Israeli government should use their cash more wisely and stop stealing and killing?

reply to post by intrepid


well I guess, I am not the OP so I don't know, but to show that the side making the Jews look like the greedy ones who started it, are the Muslim brotherhood whom no one would deny does try and place Israel in the worst light possible online.

it is not like only one side is at fault. The way I see it both sides are retarded. Only one gets labeled the aggressor though.

Living in constant fear tends to make you violent, on both sides.

reply to post by zedVSzardoz


They were doing this even before most of us ever heard of the 'MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD' (Insert terrifying music here).

2nd.

reply to post by DeadSnow


Well people in general have been doing this. I wouldn't pin it all on the Israel. I am not a big fan, but Muslims aren't exactly docile either. I can think to Spain to name one instance of theft and murder, it lasted 800 years under Muslim moors.

I am not being fooled anymore into being against or for anyone. No matter the sentimental garbage people attach to sway my mind. Human nature leaves you with one conclusion. It is the way of life. Accepting it on a macro level globally and focusing on changing things on a micro level in your life for improvement is the only way to do any real good.

People spend life times learning and seeking enlightenment to accept the world and change themselves.


We should take a page form those books, not some opinionated journal from either side.

I agree with most of your post except this:

You are comparing a COUNTRY and a RELIGION which is a big NO NO and just goes to prove that you are no better than those you call biased.

The way I see it, when people say Israel, they're referring to the government or Israeli leaders.

reply to post by Thurisaz


Are those the pictures of the starving and poor?

Israel is a socialist state. Not our fault if they are spending the billions they get in aid (OUR MONEY) and using it for weapons instead of feeding the hungry.

You are the one buying into propaganda OP.

Care to take a guess how many Palestinians go to bed hungry because of Israel?

Karma's a bitch... Yes?

What goes around comes around.

And Britain took over most of the world and subjugated its peoples. The point?
